Fantastic trip at a beautiful, comfortable, convenient and well maintained property. The house caretaker was an excellent communicator, arranged for a taxi at the airport and, using a grocery list we provided before our arrival, provisioned the house for us prior to our arrival. Highly recommended. We definitely got what we paid for!

Great Family Vacation

Family Tides was perfect for our group of 7. We woke up our first morning to dolphins and sea turtles swimming under the dock! We had coffee on the porch and saw them most mornings. The beds were very comfortable and the house was immaculate. We kept our rental boat on the dock and found incredible snorkeling while exploring the area. We had an amazing stay!

This amazing property has everything you could possibly need for your stay plus some. The owner also had a property manager that will help with whatever needs you have. It is secluded but yet not as right across from the Hopetown Marina. Filtered water from refrigerator and sink and all 4 showers have amazing water pressure as well as plenty of hot water. Amazing views and amazing comfort. You will love it here!

Beautiful!

A truly wonderful experience. Family Tides offers a beautiful setting right on Hopetown Harbor. The spotless home easily accommodated our family of Ten. John (owner) & Charlie (caretaker) addressed all our needs and were a pleasure to work with. Family Tides is the premier property in Hopetown and we look forward to our next visit.

What a perfect spot

We (4 couples) arrived at the home and were immediately greeted by a property manager ( Charles) who gave us the grand tour and spent at least an hour sharing information about the house, the island, other islands and attractions. The house was perfect! What a wonderful vacation spot!!!

Great property in Hope Town for larger family!

Had a great stay in Hope Town with our family of seven! Very nice bedrooms each one with a king size bed and private bath, well equipped common areas, and a beautiful dock for larger boats! Very convenient location as long as you have a boat to get back and forth to town. We enjoyed our stay!

Welcome 2024

Family Tides was a great place to stay for our 6 night 8 person vacation. The views of the Harbor and Lighthouse were unmatched. Truly enjoyed being on a peninsula. John, the host, provided excellent recommendations for food, restaurants, taxi services and “must do’s” during our stay. Would definitely stay at Family Tides again.

Fabulous Home

We just stayed at Family Tides for the second time, it is a fabulous location in Hopetown. We had four couples so everyone had their own bedroom and bath which made it perfect for all.We always rent a boat so we can island hop every day within the sea of Abaco. There also is a ferry to go to the restaurants and get to grocery stores nearby. Golf carts are available to rent so access to the island of Hopetown is easily accessible for most everything.I would highly recommend Family Tides as a home base, it is extremely well equipped to make any meals of your choice including grilling fish, steak or burgers. A nice bar for a quick lunch or a large dining table for eight guests to enjoy a wonderful dinner with friends. The dishwasher makes clean up a breeze and a washer and dryer to keep things tidy. The spacious living room is comfy for watching TV in the evening. The front porch has a spectacular view of the lighthouse and harbor dotted with beautiful vessels of all sizes.This is a perfect getaway for a large family or several couples to spend a week of fun and frolic in paradise.Kathi Burns and delighted friends from Maine.

Great Stay in Elbow Cay

The house was great for our group (4 couples) with a nice front porch and view of the harbor. Also, the house was very clean. The owner was extremely quick with answering any questions we had. I would note that the house is only accessible by boat which was not an issue as we also rented a boat. Also, there are shuttles that will pick you up for meals at the local restaurants.

Amazing in every way!

This was our second trip to Family Tides and we loved every minute of both trips. The house is perfect for our 2 families who travelled by boat. The owner and property manager could not have been more helpful or accommodating and the house is an absolute gem! We miss it already and will definitely return to Family Tides!!!

Perfect vacation at Family Tides

Family Tides was so much more than expected. Beautiful private home, private dock and the location was so convenient to everything and all the places we ventured too. The owner and caretaker went above and beyond to assure everything was perfect as well as provided great local knowledge and assistance. We will be back as soon as possible!! Remarkable home!!

About the host

Hosted by J. Cates

Why they chose this property

This home was built not as a vacation home but as a home to be used by the family and so everything has been done in a high quality. As such, you will not feel that the home has been put together without thought and care...... it may be just a "rental" to some but to the family, it is a part of our hearts.

The view of the famous Hope Town lighthouse right out the front door is priceless and makes for a great morning coffee or evening cocktail view.

What makes this property unique

The only access to the house is by boat even though the land is all connected, there are no paths to walk to or drive to the main settlement.....this is actually one of the features that many of our guests love about this property because it really creates that "private island" feeling, and yet you are only a 2 minute boat ride away from the settlement where you can find restaurants and stores.
